CVS vs SVN
Simple question:
What versioning system should I use for my programs. CVS or SVN. I have read about both but don't know what to use. Could anyone enlighten me on this?

Re: CVS vs SVN
SVN is CVS done right. CVS team decided that CVS is no more worth adding features, and redesigned it. Result is SVN. See also wikipedia
For new project, I can hardy see any good reason to go with CVS.

Re: CVS vs SVN
What about GIT? I just watched a video on it, is it actually that good?

Re: CVS vs SVN
git is for huge projects that span the globe and are developed by lots of people around the world. It's a distributed cvs. If you're a lone coder or a company w/ only one office (not, say, like MS which has offices all around the globe where people might be working on a project) then there is absolutely no need for git.
Just use SVN, from the standpoint of not only is it all you need but if you ever work on a project w/ a team of people they are far more likely to be using svn than git.

Re: CVS vs SVN
... and SVN as single central repository is easier to understand: merging branches distributed system like git is HARD.

Re: CVS vs SVN
We recently switched from CVS to SVN at work and I am impressed. As stated earlier, CVS is old and there are no new features in development. My favorite SVN features that CVS somehow did not support are:
1. Support for versioned renames and moves
2. SVN has native support for directories
If you are choosing a version control system for the first time, just go with the new

Re: CVS vs SVN
If you are working on small projects personally, try RCS:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revision_Control_System
it is quite simple and easy to use with your single pc.

Re: CVS vs SVN
RCS is even older and more obsolete than CVS, no? Is it easier to set up than SVN?
